We employ nationally uniform purchasing standards at all BookOff stores to calculate the purchasing price. There are several standards, but the most crucial factor is the "neatness" or "cleanliness" of the books. This is the significant difference between other used book stores or recycle shops and our stores.
For example, even if there are two books with identical title, price will differ depending on the "neatness" or "cleanliness" of the books. This "neatness" or "cleanliness" is judged by evaluating the cover and the degree of yellowness of the book. Furthermore, our BookOff stores employ stand-alone system in principle, therefore, prices differ depending on the store's inventory situation too.
We hope you will understand that we are employing this nationally uniform purchasing standards as our basic rule, so as to satisfy our customers pricing needs.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Shoplifting done by a very small portion of the customers are increasing in recent years. Therefore, as a preventive measure, we installed the security gate at the entrance. However, one of the problems is that the security gate also reacts to rental videos, to tags the staff forgot to remove from products, or to tags still remaining on products purchased at other stores. At BookOff, we do our best to apologize to our customers and clarify the reason for the alarm being triggered. We hope you will understand this action taken by our staff.
